Wimbledon Matches

Wimbledon Classic Match: Federer vs Sampras

Roger Federer is in many ways very similar to the man he took over the tennis reign from in the 2000s. In this fourth round match of 2001 the swiss tennis legend puts in an immortal performance to see off his former idol, Sampras. Sampras held a set point in the tiebreaker and then Federer cancelled it out with a service winner.

Sampras then lost the set four points later when he dumped an easy backhand into the net, and the battle was on.

Sampras played his best tennis in the final two sets, smashing serves at up to 136 mph and looking like the champion of old at the net. Serving in the final game, he misplayed two volleys and fell behind 15-40. Federer then played a superb return winner - something he had done repeatedly over the previous 3 1/2 hours - and fell to his knees with glee before keeling over onto the turf.

The usually composed player could no longer hide his emotions and broke down with tears of joy.

Amazon Customer Review: "** This match has NO Commercials and the coverage continues during the changeovers. Kinda cool to watch what they are doing when the camera on TV normally cut away.

** I watched this DVD on my iMAC - the quality of the video was excellent

** The DVD is divided up (logically) by set. Each set was around 40-50 minutes - the whole match was too long for me to watch at once but I just watched a set each night. Since I was playing tennis some days in between, it was cool to be inspired by the match

who are the announcers anyway?? One is American by the way - Pat McEnroe?? I saw John McEnroe and Ted Robinson in the background doing the commentary and kinda wished they were announcing here....but the two we heard we very good.

Definitely worth it."

A really vintage match of modern times with two of the titans of the game locking horns for a truly epic sporting clash.

obama triggers blackouts

The blackouts that are being suffered in Texas and nationwide as extreme cold weather is locked onto America, is a direct result of Obama's Administration's agenda to condemn the coal industry, run a takeover of infrastructure under the global warming scam and help launch the post-industrial ruin of the United States.

Planned power outages conducted by utility companies have caused outrage amongst officials at four major hospitals in Texas, at Parkland, Baylor, Methodist and Presbyterian Dallas. “Because of the sensitive life-saving equipment, hospitals are considered “critical care facilities,” and supposed to be exempt from rolling blackouts,” reports CBS 11. As well as hospitals, nursing homes, fire stations, police stations, other emergency response facilities have also been hit with outages as demand soars due to freezing temperatures. Many places in Texas now rely on Mexico to supply their power.

So shocking developments, especially in the lone star state and how they recover from the setbacks is to be seen.

lil wayne green and yellow

Wiz Khalifa's track "Black and Yellow" has been very beneficial to the musician's career as it has proved a popular track. It is also been the anthem for his hometown Pittsburgh team, the steelers who are one game away from the championship but rapper Lil Wayne has his own take on the track and the New Orleans native has recorded his own track for his hometown team the green bay packers who face the steelers at the weekend.

He's released his take on Wiz's track, "Green and Yellow," a nod to the team's uniform colors on Thursday (February 3). "Got a call from my homey, this just in," Weezy raps over the synthy track. "The Packers in the Super Bowl and they better win / They call him Big Ben, but he weak, though/ We in Dallas, but we Lambeau Leap, ho/ Long hair, don't care, Clay Matthews/ We sh--in' on these fools, no bathroom/ Yeah, got a pocket full of big faces/ Throw it up, touchdown on Ike Taylor."

So the Rappers have took to showing their sport allegiancy and getting behind their home town football teams for the game at the weekend which should be a treat.

the day the music died

Buddy Holly, the iconic rock and roll singer, died today in 1959 when his tour plane crashed after a show he performed in Iowa. The death was paid tribute to in Don McLean's "American Pie" with the line, "the day the music died". He was a mere 22 years old but he was still able by that age to have affected the entire landscape of rock and roll with his work

Fellow American rock stars Ritchie Valens and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson lives were also taken in the crash when the chartered Beechcraft Bonanza plane crashed in Iowa a few minutes after takeoff from Mason City on a flight headed for Moorehead, Minn. Investigators blamed the crash on bad weather and pilot error. Holly and his band, the Crickets, had just scored a No. 1 hit with "That'll Be the Day."

So tributes to the legendary music star will be made by many artists across the musical spectrum today as they mourn the loss of such an important artist.
